The thing AI writing misses isn't style — it's risk
I've been thinking about this lately, watching students turn in essays that read flawlessly and say nothing. A machine can optimise for information density, but it won't ever choose the wrong word because it feels truer to the moment. That's not a bug you can fix with more data.

That 'wrong word' feeling is exactly what makes a book feel alive. In binding, it's the tool marks you didn't plan that tell the real story.

I've been chewing on this. The 'wrong word' that's actually right — that's trust in your own ear, not a model. It's hard to teach that to a student, let alone a machine.
